My advise is to microwave your popcorn and be done with it. Jiffy Popping it on "...the still hot ashes of the Man...' is such a remarkably bad idea I wonder sometimes if the Darwin Awards weren't thought up for people like you.

I don't get why its a bad idea either?Doc, please enlighten us.....O wait, you're already on the road probably, so we'll just have to wait tell September to get the answer.

I'd say, fuck waiting for the ashes to cool so you can get close. Get a piece of 1/2" EMT,10', use some bailing wire or shit even an wire clothes hanger, wrap that handle of the jiffy pop to the emt, and hold that shit over the fire right after the man falls. Obviously you wont get close enough with out it hurting with out the 10' stick.

I'm probably about to be persecuted for saying this but, after all that ash and shit comes off the man burn, a think a few extra pop corn kernels aint gonna make or break the event.

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

Well, usually you put Jiffy Pop in the microwave, not in the toaster oven. If you put a bag of it on the hot man ashes, the bag will likely catch fire and burn. Then the kernels will fall into the ashes. Then after about 5 more minutes, the kernels will start popping and flying about at random. Sounds like good fun to me.

ooooo.. now that you put it that way, I say just run up with a 10lb bag of popcorn.. dump and run!

..and yeah it looks like you guys are mistaking Jiffy Pop as pictured above for microwave popcorn. Jiffy Pop.. the camping trip stuff. Sealed. Set on fire. Poofs up.

Darwin himself would perfer the microwave bags considering it is what has EVOLVED from the stovetop expanding aluminum bag that looks like a kings crown. Speaking of MOOP, the 10lb. dump and run (like that idea), and a huge amount of ashes. Exactly what is done with all of the ashes? Are they bulldozed up and shipped out in dump trucks??

i bet a good deal of the ashes proper leave with folks as souvenirs. but there is that layer of gravel-like substrate they put down on all the burn perimeters. That's probably fun to scrape up with some kind of toy from heavy equipment.

This is such a remarkably rude statement.

No, just mid-grade snark...
